Well ladies, it’s DAY 29 and we’re almost past the first trimester!! Not so bad, huh?
If you haven’t read some of the previous posts, I recommend you do. The information is helpful and motivating.
This weekend is a long one, commemorating the brave men and women who fought to bring us the freedom we have today, so please take a moment to remember these courageous and amazing people.
STAY STRONG and BELIEVE IN YOURSELF! Your potential is limitless.
Best,

DAY 28 ladies!!!
The only way you’ll ever lose fat and keep it off permanently is to adopt new habits and maintain them for life!
Initially, it is challenging and you will feel uncomfortable. That’s normal! Bet hey, nothing worth achieving is easy….always remind yourself of that! Sticking with these habits will take some effort in the early stages. After a short adjustment period, you will discover that it gets easier until eventually your new behaviors become deeply entrenched into your daily routine like grooves in a record. Your new habits will become as much a part of your daily routine as taking a shower, brushing your teeth or going to work. Your positive new habits will become a part of your lifestyle. Just ask Lorraine! =)

Ladies, it’s DAY 27 and we’re almost 1/3 of the way there. DO NOT LOSE THE EXCITEMENT!
To help you constantly remind yourself of your goals and help you stay motivated, here are some printable quote. Cut each of the quotes that you find of most benefit to you and place them around your house, work place and in your wallet or purse.
In when you feel like you have hit a black spot, a plateau or a time of craving, read the quotes, look at your bracelet and remind yourself of why you started this challenge, why you need to change, how you want to cross the finish line and how you want to look like when you do. A small tool like this can fix big problems, here are the quotes:
If you live in the past, your life is history.
Time flies, it’s up to you to be the navigator.
To finish first, you must first finish.
The charm of all power is modesty.
Doubt your doubts.
All bodies are created by their owners.
Life is too short, why make it shorter?
All power is trust.
Strong reasons make strong actions.
If you can laugh at it, you can live with it.
Our fears are far more numerous than our dangers.
Never sacrifice principle for temporary gain.
It’s never too late to do something great.
It is a great tragedy to have sight but no vision.
…and don’t forget ladies, YOU ARE POWERFUL BEYOND MEASURE!!
STAY STRONG THIS MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND,

DAY 25!
Ladies, I hope you are all on the right track! If not – IF YOU ARE NOT SEEING OR FEELING ANY CHANGE AFTER 25 DAYS of regular exercise and healthy eating, please email me at womensbootcamp@hotmail.com and let me know.
Ok, let’s talk about the characteristics of a good nutrition program:
Your meal ratio should look like this – 40% carbs, 40% protein & 20% fats.
Every nutrient needs to be present for the body to absorb them and use them effectively.
If you eat a meal high in carbs, without anything else, your energy levels will crash after 30 minutes and your body will store any carbohydrates that were not used, into fats!
Conversely, if you eat a meal made up purely of protein, you will lack energy and your muscles will not be able to use the protein because it is unable to fully absorb the protein in the absence of carbohydrates.
An example of a well balanced meal:
-1 chicken breast
-1/2 cup brown rice
-2 small slices of avocado
Be strong and DON’T BELIEVE IN QUIT!

DAY 24!!! The clock is ticking….
As you may have already heard, Lorraine won the title of Ms. Miami Beach Body this past Sunday. Here’s a couple of pics from the show:
Ladies, it’s no secret! LORRAINE HADDAD kicks butt! She works hard and eats right….and she gets the results!
On that note, let’s discuss eating.
WHY FREQUENT FEEDINGS?
When you feed several times a day, your metabolism increases – and therefore you burn more fat. Frequent feedings are important, especially if you are working out, since after 3-4 hours of no food your body believes that it is starving and starts doing 2 things:
1- feeds itself on your lean muscle tissues;
2- stores calories as fat.
Bad!! You don’t want either to happen so space your meals out at 2.5 – 3 hour intervals.
Stay STRONG and most importantly, BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!

WOW, 3 weeks down and I’m pumped!!!! I’m down another pound! I had to slow the weight-loss pace a little due to the fact that I am breastfeeding, but nonetheless, it’s happening!!
OK, time to modify our OFF-DAY workout…
Continue with the same exercises, same sets and reps – except now, convert the last set of squats into JUMP SQUATS. Therefore, you are now doing 55 jump squats!!! Make sure to squat down low enough that you can touch the floor and keep your BACK AS STRAIGHT AS POSSIBLE. A good trick is to look up – the body follows the eyes.
STAY STRONG…..you won’t regret it!
